In some countries, "bluebottles" are merely bothersome insects. Here they are a kind of floating jellyfish, with a bubble on one end and long trails of stinging tentacles that follow.
It would be a bit harsh to say our summer was ruined by them, but we couldn't swim for quite a few weeks as easterly winds brought something of an inundation to our shores!

That would put a damper on things.
